The Eurocodes are a set of European standards that comprehensively cover the basis of design, actions on structures, the principal construction materials, all major fields of structural engineering and a wide range of types of structures and products. The verification procedure is based on the limit state concept used in conjunction with partial safety factors. The Eurocodes allow for design based on probabilistic methods as well as for design assisted by testing, and provide guidance for the use of these methods.
